Prior 121 get to pick equipment just to turn around and be displaced out of it to 145 LGA in the first 3 months on property.
Everyone else now has less motivation to come here. What they need to do is go back to the old system. While they are at it, increase captain pay so that they don’t have to junior assign these positions to our newest pilots.
They need to force upgrades if you want to flow. I'm surprised they did not do that for this very reason. There's no reason to upgrade if you are flowing unless you want to make 1500 more a month..
